King — Definition

Kings are the externalised face of their suit's power. They build structures, set rules, and take responsibility for outcomes. The King of Pentacles runs a stable enterprise, the King of Cups governs his feelings rather than denying them, the King of Swords cuts through complexity with law and logic, the King of Wands leads through vision. Kings can warn against rigidity as easily as they confer authority — context decides which.

Example

The King of Wands in a leadership question usually means: own the vision out loud rather than waiting for permission.
